Do we really want hospital food to be so good that it appears on Master Chef? You see, at the hospital used by Stoke-on-Trent's finest, the University of North Staffordshire, all hell's broken out over the standard of the food.
My local paper, The Sentinel, has described how the custard is so thick that it's served in slices and meals are so late that patients have to be served toast to keep starvation at bay.
But if you think about it, why should hospital food be any good? It never has in the past, and frankly it has not done anyone any harm.
And, if it was any good, it would encourage people to stay in longer and block those beds. So the reality is, we should keep the standards down because it encourages people to leave.
My main concern would be if patients weren't getting fed. This happened to a friend of mine. He was in hopsital six days before staff realised he hadn't had a bite. He was so hungry he would have given his right arm for a slice of custard...
Anyway, if you fancy reading more, pop along to The Sentinel's website...
